The Deadly Spider Again.

very warm he undressed himself and sat

Just in the act of geing indoors when he
felt singing sensation on bis left nip.
Thinking it was some insect he crushed it
with his hand, and upon investigation
found the insect was red spider. King
thought nothing of the incident, and in
less than 9 minute was in bed. In
8 very short time he discovered
that his leg was swelling rapidly
and ne was suffering intensely. Local
remedies were applied, but they did not
alleviate the pam, and finally physician
was sent for. When he arrived King was
found TO be in q very dangerous con-
dition. The bite of the little spider had

Cheap homes for Settlers-No Fear of An

Correspon dence of the Gazette.
HASKELL, TEX, June 13.-EverythiDg
in our little city is quiet and prosperous.
This portion of Texas, more recently
known as the "drouth-stricken district"
has now lost that appendage and the
word "drouth" has almost become
obsolete and been expelled from our
vocabulary. We have been bountifuuy
blessed with rain since April 70, and
crops and vegetables Of every character
are as fine as heart can wish, and as
much so as the writer ever saw in any
other portion of the country. Many of
our farmers fatter themselves that they
will raise fifty bushels of corn per acre,
while oats, millet, cotton, cane, etc, are
fully as favorable. The prairies of fine
grasses remind one of fields of wheat
waving in, magnificent splendor, the
grass being in many plaCesfully twelve
and eighteen inches high. No country
ever had more prosperous outlook than
Haskell county now has. The Brszos
river and creeks have been flooded several
times this spring, and if the rains con-
tinue through June, which from every
indication they no doubt will, our farm
ers, 1t is said, will have to rent ground
on which to store away their bOuntiful
harvests. 1t is hoped there will be
large influx of emigration TO this portion
this season. Let no man be turned or
held back on account Of the drought, as
another such an one many not happen
again for many years.
The very best of farming land can now
be obtained in this county for $50 to
SO 80 per acre on good terms, and those
in search of cheap homes can find no bet
ter chance than to come to Haskell coun-
ty this fall.
The longer they tarry the more they
will have to pay for land, as prices natur-
ally increase as the country develops.

WOODEN Min Assignment.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 1.-THE
Washington Manufacturing Company of
cotton and wooden goods has suspended
payment. The liabilities are about $780,
900. The assets, counting the mill and
machinery at cost, are about S1,3S6,00O.
The mill is not believed to be making
money, and the embarrassment In the
main resulted from the loss of confidence
consequent upon recent failures and the
inability TO have notes discounted. An
effort will be made to induce creditors TO
accept bonds to be secured Joy first
mortgage upon the property, and to con-
tinue business.

A Secret of the Kitchen
Boston Courier


The inadvisability Of knowing toe
much of what goes on IN ones cwn
house was illustrated the other day ~
an incident which happened in Back
Bav mansion. The table girl wss sick.
and the doctor had ordered her taking
broth. A daughter of the house, moved
by charitable impulse, herself carried the
broth to the patient, but the invalid abso-
lutely refused to touch Il.
nDid Annie make it?" she asked, Annie
being the cook.
Eyes, " WAS the answer. "She msde i
purposely for you"
"Then l won't taste it," he sick girl
insisted ENORMOUSLY. l seen Annie Ma
guire put her finger in the soup every day
since She's been in the house to see how
hot it is, and can't taste it,"
And moved by the memory OF long
succession Of finger tested soups she
burst into hysterical weeping. There
was vacancy in the kitchen of that
mousse very soon after, and the first ques-
ton the mistress asks of each candidate
for the place of cook now is:
"How do you tell when me soup is not
enough to server"

Material for Cigarettes.
New York Graphic.

Anyone who is familiar with faces and
figures down town will recall a little,
bent up, shriveled figure of little old
Hebrew who haunts the Bowery, Park,
row, and all the neighborhood of City
Hsll Park, carrying under mis- arm dirty
canvassing bag and armed with short,
crooked stick, with which he pokes among
the rubbish in the ash barrels and cutters.
He is not after rags, as one might sup
pose, but if watched carefully will
be seen ~ collect every scrap Of
tobacco in the shape of cigar and
cigarette stumps that he can find and
deposit them in the canvas bag. He lives
in 3 dirty side street of the Bowery, in a
miserable little room, which reeks with
the odor OF half-burned tobacco. After 8
days work ne will have good-sized
heap of stumps plea in one corner. A
dirty boy sorts the snipes, as they are
called, STRIPS them, and the tobacco is
washed and then dried near the fire. The
pieces are again sorted, and arc then
ready for sale. One variety, the best,
goes to make up filters for 10-cent cigars,
another those which will sell for cents,
and the third will only do for cheap, all
tobacco cigarettes.

Legacles of the Civil war.

General John Pope IN North American Review
Perhaps the most unhappy legacy which
our civil war has left US is the genera!
neglect of the obligations and duties of
citizenship. 1t is sin which is growing
daily, and which threatens soon to trans
fer al the political business of the coun-
try into the HAMS of those least qualified
to do it. 1t is both strange and discour-
aging that the high privilege of taking di
rect part in the government of ones own
country-a privilege for the possession Of
whole countries laid waste-should have
come to be regarded with so much Indif-
ference that, like the air we
breathe, we trouble ourselves
to inquire neither whence it came nor
whittier it is going. Yet scarce twenty
years have passed since the mass of our
people were exposing their lives on the
field of battle to maintain the integrity of
the government and the rights of its citi
zens. Among the foremost of these men
are some, many, indeed, OF the most
grievous of these sinners. Have we the
right to complain OF corruption in our
politics when the best of US subordiuates
the exercise this high privilege, even in
It's simplest form of voting to occupations
and amusements which lead to no end
except personal gain or enjoyment? Can
we long satisfy our consclences or hope
to preserve our institutions if we studi-
ously neglect or CONTEMPORARY disre-
gard privileges and duties essential to
their existence?
